Isn't Ethereum moving to Proof of Stake though?
Ethereum proof of stake is coming and should fix that elegantly.
Ethereum is moving to proof of stake, will hopefully solve that problem.
Ethereum doesn't actually have proof of stake yet
If it's Ethereum's Proof of Stake then the word is perfection
Ethereum is supposedly changing over to proof of stake, but it's been a years long process
Ethereum is switching to PoS soon
Guess what? Ethereum is switching from proof of work to proof of stake in about a month, so all of this is irrelevant

Beginning of switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake consensus, which will end the mining process for Ethereum and switch to securing the network by locking up funds, drastically reducing the amount of energy used to secure the network. As a side effect of the consensus change, the amount of transactions per second will scale massively. There is not universal agreement among blockchain enthusiasts that Proof of Stake is as secure as Proof of Work, but many currencies such as Cosmos and Polka
